Let’s be real.
Coming up with daily video content ideas can feel like trying to cook jollof rice without knowing where the pepper is — frustrating, messy, and totally avoidable.
Whether you’re a content creator, personal brand, small business, or just someone trying to grow your online presence, posting consistently can be a full-time job on its own.
But what if I told you that with the right system (and a little help from AI + templates), you could plan 30 days’ worth of video content in just one day?
Yeah — no stress, no burnout, no more “what should I post today?” panic attacks.
Let’s get into the exact step-by-step system I use (and how you can literally copy it today).
Step 1: Know Your Content Pillars (This Will Save Your Brain)
Before you open Canva, shoot a video, or write a script, you need to define your content pillars — these are your main themes or categories.
Think of them as the “buckets” you’ll draw from when creating content.
For example, if you’re a personal brand, your pillars could look like:
- Education (teach something useful)
- Inspiration (share a story, a lesson, or a mindset shift)
- Behind-the-scenes (show your process)
- Entertainment (reels, memes, trending audio)
If you’re a business, it might be:
- Product Demos
- Tutorials/How-Tos
- Customer Testimonials
- Industry Tips
Choose 3 to 5 pillars max. Any more and you’ll burn out trying to juggle everything. Trust me.
Step 2: Brain Dump 30 Ideas (Fast!)
Here’s the goal: come up with at least 30 video ideas based on your pillars.
Don’t overthink this — just dump ideas like you’re making a shopping list. Quantity over perfection.
Let’s say your pillar is “Tips for Small Business Owners.”
Your ideas could look like:
- 3 tools every small business should use
- How to create a content calendar (😉 meta)
- What I wish I knew before starting my business
- Biggest mistakes new entrepreneurs make
- How to handle customer complaints like a boss
Repeat this across all your pillars.
⚡️PRO TIP: Use InVideo’s AI Script Generator to speed this up. Just type your topic, and boom — instant scripts you can tweak or shoot as-is. I use it all the time when I hit creative blocks.

Step 3: Organize with a Content Calendar (Google Sheets or Notion)
Once you’ve got your 30 ideas, throw them into a content calendar.
You can use:
- Google Sheets
- Notion
- Trello
- Or even just your Notes app if that’s your vibe
Organize by:
- Date
- Video Topic
- Pillar
- Script Status
- Editing Status
- Platform (TikTok, Reels, YouTube Shorts, etc.)
This step helps you track what’s done and what still needs work — and it also helps you stay consistent without repeating content.
Step 4: Script Your Videos Like a Machine
This is where most people waste time. Don’t.
Write short, punchy scripts that follow a simple formula:
- Hook – Grab attention in the first 3 seconds
- Value – Share the tip, insight, or story
- CTA – Tell them what to do next (follow, comment, click link, etc.)
🎥 Example script:
“Struggling to post consistently? Here’s how to plan 30 days of video content in one sitting. First, create 3 content pillars… then batch your ideas. Wanna make it faster? Use InVideo’s script generator. I do it every time.”
That script above? Took less than 60 seconds using InVideo. Yep. Try it yourself.
Step 5: Batch Film Everything in One Go
This part is a game-changer.
Once your scripts are ready, put your phone on Do Not Disturb, set up your tripod, and start filming.
Film in batches of 5–10 videos at a time. You can:
- Change outfits to vary the look
- Switch up locations in your house
- Add different hooks or intros
Keep each video under 60 seconds — short-form performs better on TikTok, Reels, and Shorts anyway.
💡 Bonus Hack: InVideo’s online video editor makes it super easy to add captions, transitions, music, and more. Even if you’ve never edited before, it’s beginner-friendly.
Again, no stress, no drama. Click here to see it.
Step 6: Batch Edit Like a Lazy Genius
Don’t edit one video per day. That’s madness.
Edit your content in batches, just like filming.
If you recorded 10 videos, edit them all in one session. Use:
- InVideo for easy drag-and-drop editing, auto subtitles, templates, and resizing for TikTok/Reels/YouTube
- CapCut or VN if you’re mobile-first
- Templates to speed things up (again, InVideo has 🔥 ones)
Editing tip: Your first draft doesn’t need to be a masterpiece. Perfection is the enemy of consistency.
Step 7: Schedule Your Videos (Automation Is Your Friend)
Use free or paid schedulers like:
- Meta Business Suite (for Facebook + Instagram)
- YouTube Studio
- Later, Buffer, or Hootsuite
- Or post manually if you’re a control freak (no judgment)
Once scheduled, boom — you’re free for the month.
Step 8: Engage, Learn, Repeat
Content isn’t one-way. Reply to comments, test new ideas, and check your analytics.
After 30 days, look at:
- Which video got the most engagement?
- What made people click, comment, or share?
- Which CTAs actually worked?
Use that data to plan your next batch of 30 videos. It gets easier (and more fun) every month.
